Be sure to stop by a leave some love for all the entered layouts if you haven't already.

It's time for a new weekly challenge (although this time you'll get about 2 weeks), this time the focus is on Black & White photos. Make all your photos black and white, or just one for emphasis ....here are some ideas to get your started:

I'm not sure I am doing this right... but I just uploaded my very first digiscrap page! I love using b/w photos... I tried something new and made a photo black and white and then added back in the color on just parts of it like the flowers and her eyes. The page is quite simple (I used a Quick Page) but I'm pretty new to it. I will have to try some of your templates soon!

Thanks to Melouise, I got this edited to is smaller You can also see this in my gallery HERE

Lovely layout! You can enter the width and height when you enter the image url (click the left icon). I use 600x600 for posting in the forums.
Don't forget to paste the link to your layout in the gallery too (just go to your page in the gallery and copy and paste the url from your browser).

btw, are you sure you're just starting? That's a stunning page for a newbie!

Taking pictures of a 3 year old is a challenge in itself. This night I asked her to make funny faces on purpose and we both had a lot of fun! I already decided to use these pictures in black&white, when I saw this challenge. I rarely use orange and green on a layout, so that was quite a challenge too!

Thank you Melouise! Should I delete my post in the challenge and reupload and choose 600px? I tried to go in to edit it, but I didn't see where I can change the size now that it's there. Oops! NEVERMIND... I figured it out, LOL!

And... yes I am a beginner. I used a "Quick Page" layout and all I did was plug in my pictures, played with the b/w and added a sentiment I hope that's not considered cheating?? LOL. I can remove it if it is. Thanks for your help!!

@Kris: I don't think it would be considered "cheating" especially since I think Marisa was/is trying to challenge you guys to use b&w photos which you did. But... I'm sure she will let you know when she returns home from vacation. They will be gone for about another 2 weeks with very limited (if any at all) internet access, so don't fret if you don't hear anything for a bit.

My B&W layout is now (way before the deadline!) in the Gallery. It was fun to make as I decided to use a minimum of colour, and felt a little restricted to start with. But it ended up being something I could get addicted to
